When I say release the choke I meant just let go of the knob and the spring will pull it back to the open position. It takes some fiddlin' to get it started and then some patience till it warms up. Years ago I had a choke cable break due to wear and tear from the constant turning back and forth. Now I leave the adjustment where it runs best warm and manually work the choke to get it started and warmed up.
As always David much respect and thanks for your help/input on the "Barn"
